Shuzo Kato

I am a PhD student at Cluster of Excellence Physics of Life, TU Dresden, Germany, studying physical rules in the biological organization from cells to ecosystems.

Fascinated by the beautiful nature of life, I have worked on various biological problems using multidisciplinary approaches from engineering, physics, and biology. At the same time, I have always wondered how my scientific skills can approach the global problems around us. The idea for this project started in the frugal science class at Stanford, where I found that frugal tools can potentially solve the problem of biological invasions. Growing up in Japan, I took invasive alien species such as red swamp crayfish for granted and saw that there was no effective solution. I believe that our frugal approach can provide practical solutions to this problem.
